Song of the Day 3/13: Sara Bareilles, “Brave”

I don’t care that Democrats haven’t made angry noises about the end of our constitutional republic because I only care what they do, not what they say. Now that it’s time to do something, let’s see how much courage they have. Will they show their prowess, be a lion, not a mowess? Will they change their habits, never more be scared of rabbits? Yeah, sure. Which I why I didn’t care if they roared – I always assumed that when push came to shove, they’d be the ones to fall over.

I’d play this Sara Bareilles tune for them if I thought it would make any difference. She released it in 2013, but it took nearly a year for it to reach its highest position in the Billboard Hot 100, No. 23, after it was nominated for a Grammy Award. Here she performs it at the Kennedy Center, a place I doubt she’ll ever appear again.

I’m afraid this is more their speed.
